P-Noy Stops At Red Light

Well this is a first.

The SUV bearing President Benigno Aquino III, along with the PSG vehicles, stops on a red light at the intersection of Quezon Boulevard and Araneta Avenue in Quezon City on its way to Malacañang on Tuesday.

If President Noynoy Aquino has no other achievement other than stopping at red lights and now abusing his authority for the rest of his term. Then he's got my respect.

Yes, I'm easy to please considering how every government official no matter how lowly they are abuses their authority.


Meanwhile...

MANILA, Philippines—All eyes seemed to be on the country’s No. 2 man ever since President Benigno Aquino III, as part of his inaugural pledge to lead by example, ordered his escorts to strictly obey traffic rules.

And so Vice President Jejomar Binay apologized to the public Tuesday after a TV footage showed his security convoy beating the red light in Quezon City the previous day.

“The Vice President apologized to all motorists who may have been inconvenienced last Monday, the Vice President reminded his security detail to follow traffic rules,” according to Binay’s statement released by his media officer, Joey Salgado.

Salgado said the head of Binay’s security, Col. Ferdinand Fraginal, had also reprimanded the concerned personnel.

Binay’s convoy was caught by a GMA 7 television crew beating the red light at about 11:30 a.m. along Araneta Avenue on its way back to the Office of the Vice President on President Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard in Pasay City.

The Vice President apologizing? That's another first.
